Mid Run Chat with Amy & Suzie
The Mid Run Chat with Amy and Suzie is a podcast for runners who are ready to rethink everything they thought they knew about training. Two old Uni friends — now in their 40s, juggling real life, real bodies, and real wisdom — explore what it means to run with intention rather than obligation.
Each episode dives into the messy, honest, and surprisingly empowering process of re‑training ourselves: unlearning outdated rules, tuning into physiology, navigating hormones and life shifts, and rebuilding a relationship with running that actually fits who we are now.
Expect honest reflective conversations, practical insights and plenty of laughter. Whether you’re returning to running, reinventing your training, or simply craving a more mindful approach, this is your space to slow down, think deeper, and run smarter.
Thoughtful miles. Honest chats. Running, reimagined.

Suzie and Amy kick off 2026 with a brutally honest catch-up: creaky bodies, acupuncture experiments, osteopath verdicts, and the reality of running through midlife. But this isn’t just a chat about aches — it’s a deep dive into how our definitions of success and consistency have radically shifted since our Loughborough Uni days.
Back then, ticking every box on the training plan was the gold standard. Now? We’re asking better questions:Are we sleeping well? Recovering properly? Showing up as thoughtful athletes, mums, partners, and humans?
From triathlon racing to post-kids perspective, we explore how time off, life experience, and a few injuries have taught us that missing a run doesn’t mean missing the point.
Click play for honesty, laughter, and a fresh take on what it means to train well — 20 years on.

How many races can you really fit into a year without blowing up your marathon training? This week, we discuss planning a race calendar, the temptation to over‑commit, and how what a realistic season may look like when you want strong training blocks and personal bests.
Suzie & Amy look at their race planning and what they have learnt across the years.
